Geographical atlases of the transcaucasian republics
A. F. Aslanikashvili; A. B. Baghdasaryan; S. G. Rustamov · 1964
This paper reviews the geographical atlases of the three Transcaucasian republics—Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia—published in the early 1960s. It notes that all three atlases were issued in large editions in both the respective national languages and Russian, with their formats, bindings, and main map scales (1:1,000,000 and 1:1,500,000 for Armenia; 1:1,500,000 and 1:2,500,000 for Azerbaijan and Georgia) determined by the size and configuration of each republic. The content generally follows the recommendations of the 1960 Moscow publication 'National Atlases,' yet each atlas incorporates thematic maps reflecting the specific natural and socio-economic conditions of its republic. By tabulating the number and percentage of maps devoted to natural conditions, population, national economy, culture and public health, and history, the paper systematically compares the structure and content of the three atlases.
Integrated regional geographic atlases
K. A. Salishchev · 1964
The author reviews work on atlases of Soviet republics and oblasts published in 1961–64, containing maps on physical geography, population, economy and culture. He finds that these atlases suffer from a lack of practical purposefulness and inadequate coordination. These weaknesses are to be remedied in a new coordinated project of natural-resource atlases of the major republics and economic regions of the USSR initiated in 1963.
Atlas of the Azerbaijan SSR
И. Н. Гусева; З. Ф. Котлова · 1964
This article reviews the Atlas of the Azerbaijan SSR, published in 1963. The atlas, comprising 218 pages, is organized into five main sections: introductory, natural conditions, economy, cultural development, and history, providing a comprehensive characterization of the republic's nature and economy. The review analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of each section, noting that while the structure generally conforms to standard comprehensive national atlases, it lacks a dedicated "Population" section. The article critically examines the cartographic methods used for geological, climatic, hydrological, soil, and Caspian Sea maps, pointing out issues such as inconsistent scales, duplicated content, and unclear legends. Overall, the atlas is recognized as a valuable synthesis of regional knowledge, though certain cartographic aspects could be improved.
